I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 990 - Chapter 990 Delicacies

Chapter 990: Delicacies Chapter 990: Delicacies Editor: Atlas Studios Mu Yangling picked up some food for Qi Wensu.

At the thought that she didn’t have anything particularly important to do tomorrow and that she hadn’t been to the mountains for a long time, her heart itched, so she nodded in agreement.

Little Lion and Little An cheered and started eating happily.

Qi Wensu opened his round eyes and looked at everyone without expressing his opinion.

Tiger Head, on the other hand, was completely focused on eating, his head almost buried in his bowl.

Mu Yangling sighed at how easy it was to raise this son.

There was never a need to coax this boy into eating.

Unlike other children, who needed a wet nurse to chase after them with a bowl whenever it came to mealtime.

Then, she looked at Little An and felt that he was not like Fan Zijin in terms of eating.

That kid was very picky.

In the past, when he came to her house as a guest, unless her mother cooked personally, he would not touch his chopsticksaEUR| The next day, Mu Yangling changed her clothes and brought the four children into the mountains.

While Qi Wensu still needed a guard to carry him, the other three carried small bows and arrows on their backs and walked on their own.

Even Little An, who wasn’t as athletic, insisted on walking on his own.

He even chased the rabbits twice with Tiger Head and Little Lion.

As Mu Yangling taught them how to determine the direction in the forest, check the traces, judge the type of animals, and so on, she led them into the forest.

Because they were mainly here for entertainment purposes and the four children were young, Mu Yangling didn’t bring them too deep.

Instead, she only led them around the periphery and caught a few rabbits, pheasants, and two roe deer.

By then, it was only noon.

Mu Yangling stopped by a mountain stream so that she could make lunch.

The guards cleared an empty space for them to have a picnic before standing at the side.

After instructing the four children to pick up firewood and teaching them how to survive in the forest, she said, “Little Bear has learned all these skills.

You guys should learn them now.

This way, in the future, be it going out to play or going to war, you can take care of yourselves.” Little An and Little Lion weren’t interested in this, but Tiger Head and Qi Wensu were very keen.

They ran up and down and followed suit.

Seeing that Little An and Little Lion were huddled together and slacking off with the flowers and plants at the side, Mu Yangling asked them to start a fire.

They had brought a lot of ingredients when they entered the mountain, so it was convenient for them to make any dishes.

She used the only iron pot they’d brought to brew chicken soup and put in some mushrooms.

When it was almost done, she placed two handfuls of corn meal and cooked a pot full of chicken noodle soup.

There was also a beggar’s chicken buried under the fire, the chicken’s stomach filled with ingredients.

The minute one tore open the clods of earth, a fragrance wafted out.

Tiger Head immediately stopped picking up firewood and came running back with his cousin.

He stood in front of the fire, unwilling to move.

On the other side, the guards started a fire and slaughtered a roe deer before roasting it on the rack.

They licked their lips and asked the Princess Consort for salt, honey jar, and cumin.

The roasted golden-brown meat emitted a sizzling sound.

Not only Tiger Head, but the other three children also drooled.

They turned to the guards’ fire and looked straight at the roe deer meat on the rack.

The guard captain quickly distributed a portion of the meat to the fire on the Princess Consort’s side.

Only then were the four children’s attention diverted back.

Mu Yangling cut meat for them with a knife.

With the noodles and beggar’s chicken, their stomachs were round by the time they’d eaten their fill.

As Mu Yangling cut the meat of the roe deer and ate it, she said, “Actually, when it comes to roasting meat, there’s nothing more delicious than the meat of Mongolian gazelle.

When I was young, when it was winter, I secretly followed your father to Great Jin’s territory to catch the wild gazelle.

After dragging it back to our territory, we slaughtered it.

We didn’t even season the meat with cuminaEUR”just a layer of salt water before brushing it with a thick layer of honey.

It being early winter, the meat of the gazelle was fatty and tender.

As the excess oil landed on the firewood, the fire sizzled.

When you take a bite, the meat was tender and sweet; even the most expensive grassland mutton wasn’t as delicious as it.

Prior to eating that, I felt that pork and roe deer meat were yummy.

However, after trying the gazelle meat, I felt that the meat of the roe deer is a little dry and the fats weren’t as evenly distributed as gazelle meat.” Tiger Head was nibbling on a drumstick and looking at his mother with his big round eyes.

Saliva flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

He sucked it and said, “Mother, I want to eat roasted gazelle meat too.” Smiling, Mu Yangling said, “I already said that it’s something from the grassland.

How can it be found here?

Not to mention you, even I haven’t eaten it since we headed south.” A guard at the side whispered, “Prince Rong and the Princess Consort are really impressive.

Back then, Great Jin was so arrogant, yet they dared to sneak onto Great Jin’s ground to catch sheep.” The guard captain had been following Qi Haoran and had watched Mu Yangling and the rest grow up.

When he heard this, the corners of his lips twitched.

“Do you really think they were there to snatch a gazelle?” Seeing that the guards were looking at him eagerly, he glanced at the Princess Consort and lowered his voice.

“The people of Great Jin have been idle since winter.

From time to time, they will come to our Han territory to rob our people.

The Emperor had only just taken back Hanzhong Prefecture at that time, and Jingzhao Prefecture was still in Great Jin’s hands.

As the two territories are connected to each other, there wasn’t a barrier in between to stop them at all.

And because we had to recuperate, we couldn’t start a war.

Out of fury, His Highness chose 40 to 50 warhorses.

Whenever Great Jin came to rob, His Highness would bring his men over to rob their shepherds.

As time went by, Great Jin decreased their frequency of plundering on our land.” The guard captain coughed lightly and lowered his voice even more.

“Her Highness was only 11 or 12 years old back then, a highly active age.

From time to time, she would follow His Highness to Great Jin’s territory to cause trouble.

When she left, she happened to see a gazelle running on the grassland and brought one back.

Who knew that it would be unexpectedly delicious?

Later on, Great Jin plundered our lands less often, but Prince Rong and the Princess Consort still couldn’t forget the deliciousness of the gazelle.

From time to time, they would disguise themselves as Han people from Great Jin and bring two or three guards to their grassland to catch gazelles.” The guards then looked vaguely at Young Master Tiger Head, who was engrossed in eating.

They all felt that it was normal for Young Master Tiger Head to eat so much until he couldn’t walk.

This was perhaps an inherited trait.

Tiger Head took a bite of the roe deer meat and swore, “I must eat gazelle meat in the future.

Wild gazelle meat!” Little Lion and Little An requested, “Remember to leave us a portion.” Tiger Head nodded and asked his adorable cousin, “Do you want me to leave a portion for you too?” Qi Wensu nodded repeatedly and said softly, “Thank you, Brother Tiger Head.” Tiger Head said seriously, “No need to thank me.” After eating and drinking their fill, the group prepared to go back.

Feeling sleepy, the four children’s eyes were half-closed.

Mu Yangling carried Qi Wensu on her back and asked the guards to each carry a child out.

When they entered the mountain, they seemed to have walked for a long time because they were hunting.

However, when they went out, they used qinggong to speed up and arrived at their destination in less than 45 minutes.

After walking 200 steps out of the forest, they arrived at the house.

After settling the four children down, Mu Yangling wanted to pack up and take an afternoon nap.

So, Spring helped her wash up.

As she did so, she said, “Today, Xiao Ting went to look for Ma Xiang early in the morning and happened to corner him at the village entrance.

He wanted to escape, but he has already been brought back by Xiao Ting.

Xiao Ting had just said that Ma Xiang had already promised to do his best to plant fruit trees for the Prince’s estate, but there’s one condition: He said that he doesn’t want to sign an indenture contract.” Mu Yangling was surprised.

“Did I ask him to sign an indenture contract?”
